Problem with free version (latest --> 12-19-12)

Hello Chump,
I really appreciate your great efforts for this script and support. I am using latest free version (12-19-12). Script downloads the video and I am also able to see the downloaded video in videos folder. But it doesn't convert it. It says "Converting Video . . ." But no change in the progress bar and nothing happens no matter how much I wait.

I have followed all the steps mentioned in thread

Hi, just thought I would point out the there is a issue converting the downloaded flv, the script appears to just stop. I tried it on http://tubeconvert.net, which has the same issue my site does.
Thanks

Hi,

You should qualify your post by saying that the issue is yours, and not necessarily an issue for everyone that uses the software.

The most recent releases of both the free and paid-for versions of my software do in fact still work. I have just tested both versions in my Ubuntu Server 12.04 virtual machine (installed packages are all fully updated/upgraded, by the way), and everything is working great.

http://tubeconvert.net is using the paid-for version of my software. (I know this because it accepts Dailymotion video URLs and is using URL validation found in only the paid-for version.) The owner of the site has clearly neglected to update my software (or his server?) for some time now. And I know this because his site does not accept https:// URLs -- a feature that is now included in my software. So, while it's hard to say exactly how long the software on his site has not been updated, it is clear to me that it is not the most recent version.

If you are having trouble converting downloaded videos, then I need to know the following:

1) Do you have the free or paid-for version?
2) At what exact point does the script "stop"? At the beginning of the conversion progress bar?
3) Are there video files in your 'videos' directory?
4) Are there FFmpeg log files in your 'logs' directory? If so, can you please paste the contents of a FFmpeg log file from a recently failed conversion (you should see errors in the log file)?

The likely scenario here is that your server or the software itself is configured incorrectly. Please provide answers to the preceding questions, and I would be happy to assist you further with this.

As my issue is same

1)Free version (12-19-12)
2)Downloading bar shows and completes but converting progress bar never starts. (just text changes to "Converting video. . .") In case you want to check click here
3)Yes, videos are downloaded. a full size video in flv format
4)No there is nothing generated in logs directory
Also
By commenting out "ini_set('display_errors',0);" I can see a division by zero warning message but I don't think it's the real cause

I am sorry, logs directory is empty but in error_log file I got repeadtedly same warning message,

"[01-Mar-2013 08:39:14 UTC] PHP Warning: Division by zero in /home/xctstm/public_html/client2/yt3/YouTubeToMp3Converter.class.php on line 111"

If I comment out "ini_set('display_errors',0);" from index.php I see the same warning message on site but I don't think it has something to do with conversion of video.

3)Yes there are, complete videos in flv format

Thanks in advance

Before I begin to answer your question, can you answer one of mine: Do your premium members have to pay you to acquire "premium" status? What do premium members get that free users don't? Is the service that you offer your premium members available for free on some other site?

FFmpeg not converting solved figured it out kinda

I was having problems converting the videos so on my vps running ubuntu in the the logs it said that ffmpeg was no longer supported and it told me to use avconv instead found at http://libav.org/avconv.html so using my vps control panel webmin i was able to install the apt avconv pointed the directory to it and got the converstions working.I am new to all this but digging around the internet i found that as a solution

Users who have thanked staticking29 for this post:

I'm having a small issue as well, I've searched the thread and can't seem to find a solution.

Everything is converted just fine, although the progress bar is not working. It just stays at Converting video. . . and shows no progress. The video file also isn't deleted after the conversion is done so I'm assuming I'm running into an issue with ffmpeg_progress.php being executed, any ideas?
